ST-34M my perfect mouse droid cleaner companion
I should have bought one years ago. No chemicals, just water and amazingly easy to get sparkling surfaces. Windows look like new, inclusiding the gutter at the bottom , no more dead flies left behind. Floors so much easier to lift dirt than regular moping. Though it helps to have the right kind of flooring to not be affected by the steam long term. Bathroom tiles and especially any mould in grout comes up revived every time.. The accessories are all good and useful. This lil droid is going to be with me for a long time.

At a glance
The Karcher SC 5 Deluxe is a powerful steam cleaner for homes with sealed hard floors and tiled areas. It suits households wanting strong steam performance, a generous 1.3 L water capacity and quick 3 minute heat-up for regular cleaning. Adjustable steam and the VapoHydro hot water function help with tougher grime. Its main limitation is that it is focused on hard surfaces rather than carpet-specific cleaning.

Who it’s for

Things to consider
Best suited to sealed hard floors and tiles, so it is less versatile than specialist cleaners designed for carpets or broader surface types.
Pet owner suitability
Good for homes with pets where sealed floors and tiles collect paw marks and everyday dirt.
Allergy friendliness
7/10 - steam cleaning can help freshen sealed floors without relying on chemical cleaners, but no dedicated allergy filtration features are specified.
Multi-surface cleaning score
5/10 - strong on sealed hard floors and tiles, but not presented as a broad multi-surface solution.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - quick 3 minute heat-up, adjustable steam and a 1.3 L tank make routine cleaning straightforward.
Noise level vs category average
About average for a full-size steam cleaner; no specific low-noise design is stated.
Key benefits
- 2250 w power: Delivers strong steam output suited to regular cleaning and heavier grime on sealed hard floors and tiles.
- 1.3 l water capacity: Supports longer cleaning sessions with fewer refills when cleaning multiple rooms.
- 3 minute heat-up: Gets ready quickly for everyday cleaning without a long wait before use.
- Adjustable steam control: Lets you tailor steam output to lighter maintenance cleaning or tougher messes.
- Vapohydro hot water function: Adds hot water to help loosen stubborn grime on tiles and stone benchtops.
- 2.3 m hose length: Provides extended reach for cleaning around fixtures, corners and floor areas with less repositioning.
- 500 ml boiler tank: Supports sustained steam delivery for more consistent cleaning performance.
- Sealed hard floor and tile focus: Well matched to kitchens, bathrooms and hallways where steam cleaning is most useful.
Q: Is this steam cleaner suitable for carpet-heavy homes?
A: No. Karcher SC 5 Deluxe is designed mainly for sealed hard floors and tiles, not as a broad soft-surface cleaner. If most of the home is carpet, a cleaner built specifically for carpet care will be a better match.
Q: Can it be used on unsealed timber floors?
A: No. Karcher SC 5 Deluxe is intended for sealed hard floors and tiles, so unsealed timber and other moisture-sensitive finishes are not the right fit. Steam and hot water are better suited to sealed surfaces that can handle that moisture.
Q: Would this suit homes with pets and hard floors?
A: Yes, for sealed floors. Karcher SC 5 Deluxe suits homes where pets track dirt onto tiles or hard floors, because steam can lift everyday mess from those surfaces. It is not a specialised pet-hair solution for carpet or upholstery.
Q: How often will the water tank need refilling?
A: Karcher SC 5 Deluxe has a 1300mL clean water tank, which suits longer sessions across multiple rooms before refilling. Refill frequency still changes with the steam setting and whether the VapoHydro hot water function is used regularly.
Q: Will the hose reach around bathrooms and hallways?
A: Yes. Karcher SC 5 Deluxe has a 2.3m hose, which gives useful reach around hard floors, bathroom fittings and hallway edges. It still suits nearby surfaces best, so larger areas may need the unit repositioned as you move around.
Q: Does the SC 5 Deluxe clean with chemicals?
A: Karcher SC 5 Deluxe is designed to clean with steam and hot water rather than relying on chemical cleaners. For sticky spills or heavy residue, the steam helps loosen the mess first, but some surfaces may still need a wipe to finish.
Q: Can it handle stuck-on grime on tiles?
A: Yes. Karcher SC 5 Deluxe combines adjustable steam with the VapoHydro hot water function to help loosen stubborn grime on tiles. It is better for sealed tile surfaces than delicate finishes that are not suited to steam and moisture.
